moderate northwest gale, with a high
breaking sea, sighted from aloft, five miles
on the lee beam, waterlogged and dis
masted vessel. Kept off and bore down
towards her, and, passing close under her
stern, found some of the crew on board !;
launched one of our boats, though the sea
was very high. At first we could not board
the vessel on account of the high seas, but
after several attempts succeeded in doing so
by getting hold of some of the rigging. The
captain and second mate were the only sur
yivors, the mate. steward and two colored
seamen having died the previous night The
TWO survivors were almost exhausted. They
were not able to walk and had to be hoisted
on board OF our vessel. They had been
lasned Tor 4S hours on top of the after house
without food or water, and their clothing
was torn to rags. The vessel proved to be
the Marcus A. Davis Of Philadelphia, Capt.
Williams, bound for that port from Fernan-
dina with cargo of lumber. She had had
heavy southwest and northwest gales, In
which the vessel became leaky and drifted
off the shore. On March % she capsized
during squall and filed. The fore and
mainmasts were cut away, and in falling
carried away the mizzen mast The vessel
then righted and remained so until we took
the men off.
